Why Did The Obama Administration Ignore Reports Of Russian Election Meddling?
The Federalist ^ | June 4, 2019 | Margot Cleveland

Friday’s interview is not the only time Barr raised the issue of the Obama administration’s failure to respond to Russian attempts at election interference.

During her hour-long interview last week of Attorney General William Barr, “CBS This Morning” journalist Jan Crawford focused mainly on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of President Trump. She also, however, questioned Barr on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) efforts to ensure that Russian attempts to interfere in our elections are not repeated in 2020.

This revealed the attorney general is probing a second scandal of the Obama administration related to the 2016 presidential election. Or it would be regarded as a second scandal if it garnered more attention: Why the Obama administration failed to forcefully respond to intelligence of Russian interference in our elections.

The reason they didn’t do anything is they figured that any Russian meddling would be helping Clinton. They knew about Clinton’s $140 MILLION from the Russians “donated” to the Clinton Foundation, and her championing selling uranium to the Russians. Who else would the Russians want?

The so called “dossier” was prepared by Fusion GPS and Hillary Clinton campaign operatives such as Sid Blumenthal.

What is called the “dossier” is actually a collection of one page reports obvious written by several authors.

It was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

The so called sources are KGB officers who supposedly were 100% honest when they provided information damaging to Trump to the Clinton campaign.

Christopher Steele supposedly put the “dossier” together but he had not been in Russia for over decade and did not meet with any of the sources of information. Steele has refused to testify about his role in the dossier. Steele was working for the FBI at the same time he was working for Fusion GPS and no one will say what he actually did.

The dossier is a complete fraud. The KGB probably provided some of the disinformation in it.

But you are right, the part about Hillary Clinton is a joke.

What are the memes that Russia used as a means of mind control/hypnotizing the electorate?

Where are the algorithms and the actual voting machines that were compromised?

In essence, where is the direct proof that Russia hacked/infiltrated the morning nods of the electorate?

A lot of members of the previous administration should be prosecuted.

Christopher Steele told Obama's Deputy Asst Sec of State Kathleen Kavalec early on: “The Russians succeeded
in placing an agent inside the DNC”........ yet the Obama administration and the FBI did absolutely nothing.

When he crawled out of the gutters of Chicago into the WH, the Halfrican halfwit had a dedicated anti-American agenda he willfully witheld from the elecorate.

I'd venture to say that he, and the Chicago criminals he brought with him, spent 99% of their time in DC looting govt offers.

Why Did The Obama Administration Ignore Reports Of Russian Election Meddling?>>>>>

Because Obama wanted to destroy the democratic institutions of America and remake the nation in his own liberal fascist image, a divided nation divided into territories ruled by racial and ethnic minorities, (witness sanctuary cities and states as a result of Obama’s policies, excluding Whites, Asians and Jews) He also arranged to make sure that our immigration regulations supported a demographic invasion of “White America.”

Obama was an apologist for America, an enemy of America, and a loyalist to Saul Alinsky instead of to the Constitution, which he subverted at every opportunity he had.

IMHO, a firing squad would be the appropriate end of Obama, for treason. Remember the open microphone moment when Obama said to Medvedev, President of Russia that he would have more latitute ( to sell out America) after his re-election in 2012. That was NEVER explained.

See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keXx0zxTarE

Witness Obama’s recent comments on USA guns, comments made in in Brazil, without mentioning the 2nd amendment, Obama was and still is a liberal fascist, a clear and present danger to America:

It must be ridiculously easy to fix US elections if a handful of foreigners can do it...

Yep, Hillary spent 1.4 Billion Dollars attempting to get elected President ...but $80,000 worth of small ads placed on Facebook by Russians threw the election?

Ads no one remembers seeing... If the premise of this democrat hysteria about Russian interference swinging the election was true every campaign in the world would be hiring Russians to run their campaigns.

How Obama Secretly Gave Iran Access To Billions Of Dollars — And Enabled Terrorism
IBD ^ | February 8, 2018 | Editor / FR Posted on 2/9/2019 by yoe
Iran: One of the linchpins of former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was that it would be accompanied by a near-ban on Iran having any access to the U.S. banking system. A new congressional report says that, too, was a lie.[snip] Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block ( this nuclear deal), we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal. [snip]It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.[snip]Apart from the lie, which is bad enough for an administration that claimed repeatedly to be "scandal-free," this money did not have innocuous uses. Far from it. (Excerpt) Read more at investors.com ...

==================================================

Trump fired him now it turns out Secy of State Tillerson was pursuing Obama-era policies at the State Dept,
deliberately sabotaging President Trump on Iran policy, relations with Israel, the Paris Accords and other issues.
.......several prominent Obama officials who have knowledge of the Iran deal are still at the State Dept.
<><> Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, in charge of Iran and the Persian Gulf region on the policy planning staff,
<><> a former John Kerry apprentice, Michael Ratney, occupies the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio,
<><> trusted Obama aide, Yael Lempert, served under Tillerson on the same platform.

REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.

If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

We can be contacted at judgment.fund@fiscal.treasury.gov or 202-874-6664.
